This sculptural vase from the Steatyt porcelain factory in Katowice, dating to around 1960, exemplifies the expressive spirit of Polish mid-century modernism. Its construction features two upward-sweeping, organically curved arms joined at the base, creating a dynamic openwork silhouette. The vase is crafted from white glazed porcelain, adorned with a gradient of olive green that transitions from a deep, saturated tone at the base to a lighter, yellowish-green at the top. The surface is punctuated by bold, vertical stripes in white and dark brown that accentuate its sinuous lines. A subtly pebbled texture adds visual and tactile depth, while the glossy glaze amplifies reflections and luminosity. The rectangular, slightly flared base provides stability. The piece measures 21 cm in height, 13 cm in length, and 7.5 cm in width. It is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage, chips, or signs of restoration; the glaze and colors are fully intact.The vase’s form channels the creative optimism of the 1960s, when Polish ceramics embraced abstraction, biomorphic lines, and daring color combinations. Its asymmetrical silhouette and interplay of stripes evoke a search for harmony between nature and modernity—each curve and contrasting stripe marking a unique rhythm of postwar innovation. The glaze captures and reflects light, transforming the vase into a small sculptural statement that engages the imagination and invites visual dialogue within the space.This piece may be displayed in a living room atop a low, light-toned wood sideboard or on a mid-century modern console,
